No that is not a military vehicle on your screen, that is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a Seidio 3800mAh extended battery attached to it. It might look like a tank, but it will certainly power your phone through a full day thanks to more than double the juice of a standard G-Nex battery which weighs in at 1850mAh. I picked one of these up (the NFC version of course), to see how big it really was in person, but also to give one away since they pack a $75 price tag. Before we reward one of our amazing DL community members though, let us talk about it for a moment so that others can decide if their pocket can handle one.

So how big is it? In the comparison shots below, you can see that the thickness matches up almost perfectly to a G-Nex extended (2100mAh) and standard battery stacked on top of each other. It’s thick, people. It adds a decent amount of weight, meaning you will notice a difference. It also has a purely black cover which of course does not match up to the coloring of the actual phone. So not only does this beast stick out a half an inch or so off the back of the device, but it stands out in looks as well.

What about a single life charge? I’m not going to lie, slapping this on the back of my phone would be the equivalent to someone scratching fingernails across a chalk board. I’m a minimal phone elitist, meaning I love my phones thin and sleek and without massive, non-matching humps on the back. Basically I’m saying that I have not fully tested this battery, however, at 3800mAh this thing includes more power than the 3300mAh battery tucked into the DROID RAZR MAXX which can last you anywhere from 2 to 3 days. This battery should easily hit numbers like that. The big thing here is that this battery is not slender like the RAZR MAXX’s. If you are interested, you have to ask yourself if the added weight, thickness, and black non-matching back are worth it to you. For some, the answer is a definitive, “Yes.”

Other notes? The new back plate has a soft, almost matte black finish and feels a lot like the new Ringke SLIM case that I reviewed last week. It doesn’t feel that bad in hand and is essentially slip resistant. This version of Seidio’s battery is also the NFC-capable one, so you won’t miss out on any Google Wallet opportunities with this attached.

Contest:

Since I sit at a desk all day long blogging away with a chargers are arm’s reach, a beastly battery like this is not necessarily topping my list of must-have accessory. So we thought we would save one of you $75 and give it away. Sound like a plan?

To enter:

1. Follow us on Twitter if you aren’t already.
2. In the comments, tell us how badly you need this extended battery.
3. Tomorrow at 9AM, we will choose a winner from the comments.

Good luck!

Update: Our winner has been picked! HuskerDroid10 was randomly chosen and will take home the NFC capable, 3800mAh Seidio battery for the Galaxy Nexus. He hopes that this tank will get him through sporting events, something his current battery cannot do.

I bought my Galaxy Nexus with a second battery, because the Verizon store I went to was out of the extended(go figure). I go part way through my normal day with one battery, and switch the battery out at my halfway point. Not even using 4G, I have it set to 3G to save battery(ha!). Would appreciate this giant battery, even though I know it wouldn’t fit in my otterbox case.

I have to charge my phone everyday at work to be able to make it through the day.

@droid_vans_life

I wake up go to school then go straight to work. Ask me if my phone makes it past the train ride to work. Let me answer that no it does not. No phone at work is like me trying to flash a ROM and md5 sums dont match. So annoying :p

I have to keep my phone on the charger throughout the day. That’s how bad I need this.

Angel Calderon

Im sorry but if my phone looked like this with a battery i would most likely never bring it out of pocket, what am i saying, this thing wont fit in my pocked, i would need a book bag to hide it. And forget about flying with it. The FBI might think is a weapon of mass destruction. You must be deeply in love with this phone to not see that it looks more than bad, so bad that i would rather have “the fruit phone” strapped to my forehead.

Darren

Need one! Am away from my desk ask day.

Andrew

So badly

Josh Groff

I need this as an excuse to buy a Nexus. Otherwise, RAZR MAXX wins.

Sp4rxx

more juice or not, that battery makes the nexus look as ugly as sin…. bye bye sleekness – hello brick!

thedanks

This battery would really help me. The building i work at has really bad verizon and wifi reception… it has a lot of insulation and its just in a dead verizon area. My phone is always searching for different signals and this would really save me a lot of headaches. Thanks for the chance!

I need the extended battery because I basically carry around a generator to keep this thing charged when I’m not near a plug…kills the battery so fast!

Kevin Smith

I could use this pretty badly… I was at a bachelor party in Atlantic City this past weekend and had to constantly run up to the hotel room to charge my phone for a few minutes. Talk about ruining the party.

supra_2nr

Would love this for my gnex! I was looking at buying one but id rather not!

Don23lucia

I need this thing between work, college, 3 kids, soccer, football, ballet, and karate. I need something to keep my phone going cause right now it dies before my day really starts!

Tgabks

Matt Ponkey

Humpback or not, I need 2 to 3 days without a charge for when I’m on the road.

This battery would help me sooo much.
Im sick of having a charger in every room.
I want my nexus to be free, even if it is with a tank on the back!

Caveman418

I am traveling from workstation to workstation from 6:00AM till 4:30PM everyday. I do not have time to stop and let my phone charge or leave it behind because it is the only way for my family to get in touch with me. As it stands now, I have to turn everything off on my phone that is absolutely unnecessary (GPS, Bluetooth, wifi, screen brightness) and only manually check my email to keep my battery lasting as long as possible.

Eddie

With no wifi at work, my battery is dead by 3pm unless i have time to charge it. I need an extended battery!

You could say I’m your average 20 year old kid but that would be a lie. Ever since the OG Droid days I have been in love with Android. The issue is that with a love as strong as mine it quickly turned into an obsession. I would be the kid that would show his family, friends, and pretty much anyone willing to listen all the latest apps the day after they hit the market. I loved productivity, 3D GUIs, and gaming. I always run custom roms and overclock and end up changing everything every couple of days for the first few weeks of owning a phone. My dad used to joke that he wanted to borrow my phone to cook up some eggs. Some would say that I am a lil bit of a facebook, reddit, and youtube whore as well. My daily life is very busy and I’m almost always out and about from early in the morning until the parties die out. I keep headphones with a mic in one pocket, charger in the other, and my gnex almost never leaves my hands. I talk on the phone with friends and girls anywhere from 5 mins to 3 hour conversations across the day and sometimes I am multitasking like a boss using Google Nav, the Browser, Messaging or other apps while I’m on phone calls. As you might conclude I am forced to run my phone an minimum brightness all the time unless I’m showing someone something on the beautiful screen. I constantly am flipping toggles, killing apps, trying to squeeze the most out of the extended battery from VZW. I would love to show off the sleek, skinny gnex the way it came out of the box but my lifestyle makes me favor function over form. My charger and the nearest outlet is like my ball and chain no matter where I go. In fact my phone died while typing this, luckily I was using Evernote. I wish I had the $75 to drop on another extended battery but I don’t and if this battery lasts as long as you have been saying, it would really make things a ton easier for me.

Packratako

I need it for work im either on a call or using the internet for research cuz my work internet is slowet than.my 4G. And of course some few hours playing draw something or oregon traveler!

Kitsuneudon

I’m looking for an extended battery so I don’t have to be searching for power outlets like a fiend if I’m gaming on my Nexus.

Barlog

I do heating and Air service and I’m either on a roof or under a house by myself,and I don’t like crushing my Nexus in my pocket so I keep it in my tool bag. So having this battery so big would not bother me one bit especially if it’s gonna keep me with piece of mind knowing I’ll have a good charge when I need it, and not have to climb down the ladder if it dies.

pharmdy

Need my phone to last all day for taking lecture notes! My G-nex is the ultimate mobile tablet, and will be a beast with this battery!

delriogil

I might just impress the ladies with this in my pocket.

daware

I’m not afraid to strap this to the back of my Nexus. I have the extended battery from Verizon, and on my days off it is simply not enough! I want to get the battery life of a RAZR MAXX or better!

I need this because I work in IT at a highly sensitive location and I don’t have any working USB ports to charge with 🙁

Cjl1092

I would love to finally be able use my phone all day and not have to bring my charger everywhere if I had this battery, Being at a college where a 802.11g signal is shared by over 4000 students I use my Nexus rocking 4G all day in order to do work and surf the web but boy does 4G suck battery down like a Hummer sucks gas. I would just love to slap that puppy on my GNex and go without having wires falling out of my pockets every time I go to take my pen out.

Slimfady

I travel very frequently and I constantly worry about my phone being charged. It would be nice not to feel this way for once.

My phone dies in the middle of night class, and I can’t check what time it is when I’m bored!

Lilschil

I need it for my wife’s GNex, so she’ll stop yelling at me about how she has to always charge her phone. So in essence … I need this battery to save my marriage… eh, happiness … eh, ah.. got it.. sanity!

I’m going to New York in a few weeks and I’m really anxious about my phone running out of juice during the day. Normally I charge the phone at my desk most of the day, but I have a feeling I won’t find too many outlets around the city where I can just charge my phone all day.

I work at Best Buy Mobile and I’m constantly sending customers to check out some Droid Life. BUUUTT the guy I work with has the Samsung Extended battery and he is constantly giving me crap when my battery runs down before his. So, Droid Life, pretty please let me have this battery so I can throw it in his face how long my battery lasts.

I just got to have it. I listen to music and view videos on my GNex all the time. And hence it’s always running outta juice. And thus I have to keep it plugged in ALL THE TIME. The ‘giant battery’ would save my GNex from being rendered into a wired desk phone. Please please please, gimme #MyPrecious… 🙂

Sidenote: after reading “someone scratching fingernails across a chalk board”, I’m feeling that scratch and it’s damn irritating. I’m still here and still dropping this comment; ain’t I?

Mcgyver512

Power draining ……. almost…………gone…………4hrs…………since…………………….charg..

Doublea501

The amount i need this battery cant really be compared with anything but, if i really had to compare it with something, it would be an unknown force pulling my hair out for me. Notice, I have no hands.

Tex

Left my house to coach a T-ball game with 30% battery, by games end it was dead. T-ball games are only an hour!

tomgillotti

Military life style requires this tank of a phone, since I do fly around in a flying tank 😉

I found myself starting on long bike rides recently (27 miles on my second ride in years), and want to use my GPS to track my progress. I’m thinking the standard battery won’t make the cut once I really get into things…Basically, I’d use the standard battery for day to day (so as not to embarrass myself too much) and the Howitzer for the long hauls (bike rides, all-day walks, camping for a few days, etc.)

Owewil3225

I needed this battery cause without it i just have a Google $299 paper weight. My battery life is shorter then Kim Kardashians marriage.

symetriic

I will use this on my annual 206 mile bike race from Logan, Utah to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Lotojaclassic.com. For a 10 hour ride I need a 10 hour battery!

I need this battery oh so badly because I wear skinny jeans and could really use the extra size to stretch my pockets out a little bit.

timnunes

I’m at work for 14 hours a day sometimes. Other times I’m only at work for 9 hours, but either way, when I finish work there’s barely enough charge left to get me home. I need an extended battery so I can stop worrying about it!

Alex

I need this battery because I am addicted to my phone. I can be on it all day if I do not make myself put it down. Checking Facebook, Twitter, and of course Droid Life.

give me the tank!

need one, maybe but good to have for sure. got regular nexus battery and extended battery but still have to have a usb cable just in case.

Zomghxc

I need this battery because I want to use my phone.

Stlbryson

I need this battery! I unplugged my gnex this afternoon and, as usual, I was down to 50% within a couple hours. It totally sucks to always have to worry about turning off wifi and 4g. Maybe, just maybe, with an extended battery beast like this I could go a full 4 hours…or more…before even thinking of getting the charger out!

I live an hour away from my fiancee, and she loves sending pictures (you know, of puppies and kittens and things that men like to look at), so more battery means more hotness, er cuteness!

Robsmith Nikon

As a Police Officer I am always using my phone at work. I currently carry a standard battery, an extended battery and a car charger with me everywhere I go in an effort to keep my phone alive. I use my phones camera to do quick snapshots of suspects and such. I pull info from the web on the fly and look up drivers license photos of people in the field and use the wifi hotspot to get data on my laptop. A large battery like this might be what I need.

I need this so badly! I just picked up a second job landscaping that will have me working a 6am – 2pm shift then a 4-9 shift every night. I need a battery that will last through all of that THEN a few more hours while im in the library studying for my computer engineering major at OSU. Please I need this!

TravisHannon

I need it to last during music festivals! bogged down 4G and 3G kills battery life! #firstworldproblems

Ulnek75

wow. i’d like one. on weekdays i’m at school from 8 to about 7 then work after. i have some text books in my phone and i use it to do homework in between classes. with the screen being on all the time, i go through the battery pretty quickly and i have to switch batteries. sometimes i forget to charge and i’m out of luck. it would be great to get through my day without having to switch batteries .

I am actually very sick and tired of battery life on my Android phones. I am getting to the point that I am actually considering going to the Motorola Razr Maxx! As much as I hate a locked bootloader, I hate a dead phone even worse. I am always on the go and do not have time to be charging my phone in a pit stop fashion.

So Droid-life, hook a brotha up!

Claytonhoppe

i need this battery because the stock is just not cutting it.

RWW

Sure, it’s gawd-awful ugly.. but some times you’re out in the woods and need your Nexus to last more than 13 hrs, right?

MICHAEL PATTERSON

Ned Beatty wishes he had this accessory if he did he might not have had to squeal like a pig.

i <3 tanks

I should win because I never win anything on here so why not win this gynormous tank accessory!

MICHAEL PATTERSON

when my wife asks me “am I fat” i hold up the profile of my phone if it obscures her shes not fat and i tell her so…. I NEED THE BATTERY!

MICHAEL PATTERSON

I dont always want to look like Quasimodo but when i do i sport my G-nex with the
Sedio 3800mAh battery.

Russellneal88

I travel too much to be by an AC charger very often. I’d use this 🙂

MICHAEL PATTERSON

I need this because while i am married the hot mommies at the playground will not leave me alone. the sight of me playing WWF with my totally sexy phone must make them gush. Time to end it now!

Shadow18z

Because carrying two batteries with me is pretty silly.

Brianusn07

I need an extended battery because i simply never won anything through droid life yet. and this would be a good way to start my contest winning streak. 🙂

Everyday, I go to my college classes and then work (at the school) for 6-8 hours after. On average, I’m at school for 11 hours a day. Because I use my phone for everything, the normal battery just doesn’t cut it. I need an extended battery just to make it through my long days!

I would very much love to have this, I have been wanting to pick one up for a while but haven’t had any money to do so, its just more than I have right now, unfortunately my job doesnt pay me enough to get things that I would like to have. I could definately use this too since I am away from a charger all day long and my battery for my Gnex now dies super fast since I use it for voice calls mostly. Please pick me.

GuidZilla

Need one for when i’m bored waiting for Turkey to show up to my blind… 3g in BFE helps pass the day 🙂

real4life72

I ride my motorcycle alot and even tho this battery added to my phone may make my bike drag the road a bit it sure would be great on long trips with no charger.

Tim Buchanan

How does it compare to the $7.00 one you had posted on here the other day? Cuz…I bought that one.

Tsabhira

SO BADLY. I love this phone, I do, but the battery drains away in just a few hours of games and general screwing around. I’d be willing to put up with the ugly to make it last longer.

Soapinmouth

i neeeeed it i use my phone for work related features and the horrid reception always kills it there

Chris

I so don’t want it, but I do need it. I wish it wasn’t so huge, but even my 2100 battery isn’t cutting it. So if you could so kindly help a fellow geek out. I’d walk your dogs for ya. 🙂

Rauldom333

I would like it because I can’t even afford the $25 Verizon battery. 🙁

I’d love to have this thing so I can have a contest with my co-worker which one of your phones will last the longest without a charge, my Galaxy Nexus or his RAZR MAXXX. 🙂
It’d be awesome to not have to charge my phone halways through the workday or having to use a charger when using Waze.

Oh also with this thing attached to phone, would look like my Nexus has a goiter 🙂

i need this battery something serious. i run heavy equipment for a local municipality here in Nashville, TN and they dont run on 12v systems, so i dont even have the luxury of a car-charger. usually a little after lunch, my battery is toast. i would love to have this and it would make a big difference for me,

Jason Brown

it would be nice being able to use my phone all day without having to turn down the brightness on such a beautiful screen and not have to undervolt in order to get decent battery life.

James_C_L

between being a dad, and having a 4 hour round trip commute for work, im rarely near a charger.
please make my life easier!

Kerb7777

Ok this is much needed! I just bought this phone and am still figuring out the ins and outs, but the battery life sucks bad!!! Now question that big honken thing looks like a leach attached to ur hand! Now is the phones case going to fit? No… so back to the drawing board boys! As awesome as this phone is i cant believe they couldnt come up with a better battery and we payed enough for this devise! Come on Samsung!!!!

SD_Scott

I need this battery as I am recharging my phone three times a day already with the extended battery… I use my phone all day long (tethering, streaming, texting, calling, etc.) and wish I could do away with the hassle of carrying a charger with me everywhere I go. I don’t really mind the extra weight/bulky appearance as long as the damn thing lasts me a full day on one charge!

I attend college in a very small desert town in New Mexico. My signal here is TERRIBLE. The only way I can make it through a whole day is to be in airplane mode most of the time, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a phone at all….

Mike W

I want it because I wanted a mix of the RAZR maxx’s battery life and some ICS. Plus I love carrying a tank in my pants… 😉

i bought the 8 dollar extended battery that was on slickdeals the other week and it SUCKS. I get about the same battery life I do with my normal battery. I could really use a GOOD Extended battery. Help a brother out Kellex.

Uniball415

If I need to start a fire with my phone battery in a survival situation like Bear Grylls at least I’ll know I’ll always have a charge

Well, my battery is at 100% now, and it wouldn’t last me to 9AM tomorrow morning, so I hope that I win so I can use my phone.

bassman418

No thank you. I’ll easily swap my battery out while the other charges. To make the phone look like that is insane. I got the Samsung OEM battery and charging box with cord for $28. Hell if I wanted to spend $75 I could of bought 2 more OEM batteries and had 4 batteries. Which will look much nicer and last MUCH longer than that beast. Also using AOKP and Franco
Kernel’s nightly ( and with full brightness and clocked at 1344) I get great battery life. I did the same thing with my Thunderbolt. Had 3 batteries I rotated and never had power anxiety or giant heavy ugly phone. LOL

Chucky32

I really need this extended battery because where I work (the dungeon) I do not get a very good signal and so I go through batteries like there is no tomorrow. So pick me!!

allan

I would just love to be able to go pass 5-6 hours without charging. Plus makes one hell of a phone anti thief throwing mechanism. 🙂

im a plumber. i stream the Sirius app on my phone while im at work all day,
this will save me from having to sit in my truck for my lunch break charging my phone so i can make it through the rest of the day. i need this battery!

Migamix

I’m rocking one now.. with the case designed for it… I’m trying to do a forced draincycle (crackflashing)… I’m sure like usual.. it will be all the way into lunch before I have to plug it in… got the wife one for her evo3D… now that looks silly (camera size)… so far… super happy… now I have 2 3800’s , OEM standard, oem ext. I’m good for power now.

I work in the telecommunications industry and because of this I’m constantly either on the phone or sorting through email to find issues and resolve them. It would be nice to get through the whole day and night without having to charge my phone.

aholland1

I love my Nexus, but I am not a fan of the battery. Even with the “extended” battery I am dying for my charger by 8pm, and the DC subway is murder when it’s jumping between access points. This thing ain’t pretty, but it would be nice to make it through a work day AND go out to dinner without worrying about about the battery failing me. Thanks for the opportunity DL!

Qeegan

I hate not being able to use my phone freely … It always seems to be attached to the wall like some kind of security blanket … Please free me from always having my phone attached to the wall.

famouspat

The extended battery is a must for me. The moment when your night of posting pictures and checking in turns from going home at 1am to waking up somewhere else at 9am. That battery need to stay up all night with me for inside joke tweets.

Kurt Edens

I am a graphic designer / web designer and do so for a sign company and on a freelance basis. I work a lot on the road on my way to meetings, during or after them and sometimes while I am on the road doing sign sales, service, and installs. I use my gNex to tether my LTE coverage and even with the occasional availability of a car charger, I die every day. Sometimes at crucial times. It really looks bad to ask clients if I can plug in during our meeting so I can access cloud services, my cloud portfolio, site examples or even just to send/receive emails and such.

Work aside This doesn’t leave me much time to test out and work on my WIP line of rom themes and my current story like boot animation series Ive been working on at lunch and on breaks…

THUS THIS BATTERY (BEASTLY AND UGLY AS IT IS) WOULD HELP ME BOTH WORK ON WORK AND WORK ON MY PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR GNEX ROMS.

Keyan X

You know how badly I wanted Klondikes bars? Well this is two Klondike bars…with the thick chocolate coating.

Long bus rides every weekend for Hofstra Baseball = extended battery dead within a few hrs and torturous remaining time without my beloved Nexus. I would LOVE this battery.

SteelGator

Wow this is a quick turnaround contest. I would love to win this because I will need the juice coming up very soon. Taking the kids for all day out door events, the 3800 will make sure I have the power I need to run my phone.

Afox2015

I kill my battery in about an hour and I start my day at 7 am and I end at 9pm. Too many games and flashing of roms. Twitter is afox2015

Deltaechoe

A new battery would be awesome considering the stock battery i have dies about halfway through my work day…

i need this so bad because i can barely but this phone down, between flashing new roms with boot manager, playing shadowgun or angry birds space, catching up on twitter with boid, and all the other none essential tasks i do any extra juice is greatly appreciated.

Ryan Frank

i realllllllly need this sometimes.. it would be nice to have for days i know are going to be away from a charger

Chad

I would love to win this. My job requir me to work in very rural areas. My phone is a lifeline and when it constantly searches for a signal it kills the battery. This would be an awesome thing to win.

Deslotnick

I need one THIS badly! (Holding my arms outstretched)

somethingwired7

As a student, I am frequently leaving my residence early in the morning around 7ish and not returning until at least 11pm after my shift at work is finished. At least two to three times a day I am relegated to my car and/or outlet to juice up my nexus which is “no bueno” in my book. Can’t read Droid-Life without my device!

drewbie_al

Simple: At my office, I am lucky to get 1 bar of 1x signal, let alone 3G or 4G. Even with LTE off, I have to recharge by lunch time. I figure I can get through a day with this battery.

Greg

From the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, I am out and about. Very rarely do I get the opportunity to charge my GNex on the go with the type of work I am in. I have had my eye on this battery but just too expensive for me at the moment. It would be a life saver. Please consider this loyal DL reader.

I need this because I’m rarely home as of late and absolutely need a charge. Carrying around 2 batteries and my charger around is not acceptable for how much I have to use this for wi-fi tethering and what-not without being plugged in. Also my friends use it quite a bit as well so when I am finally having a break, they’re using it for their laptops or just faster wi-fi speeds then our place offers. With this, I’d be free of having to monitor my day around my phone battery less which would be absolutely fantastic.

My phone seems to like to drain quite a bit even while idle, so, even better. I also during my off periods love to watch YouTube clips with my friends once in a while so it would be nice not having it drain 10% in 10minutes of watching videos on YouTube or Netflix. With the Seidio battery I feel like I can stop lugging around batteries or stop worrying about not even being able to make it through 4-5hours of use when I actually use my phone. The only real time I actually make it through 12hours is when I see maybe.. 30minutes of screen time while on 3G(which I never do, I need it too much. Just an example). So if I could win this, thank you! Plus I could give my brother one of my batteries. 🙂 My twitter is @BlackBlizzNerd for proof that I followed you.

I need a battery that will last AT LEAST 12 hours since i work 12 hour shifts at my county’s medical examiner’s office. Thats right.. i pick up dead people for a living. i need more battery life to combat the dead. Morbid? Yes.. True story? Unfortunately.

Heavy user and drain my battery quick. Would be nice to use my phone longer.

g_what

My battery barely lasts 5 hours depending on use (today was one of those days). For perspective, that means waking up at 9:30 and the phone is in desperate need of a charger by 2:30. I love owning a smartphone (the D1 got me hooked), but I sorely miss dumbphone battery life (easily a full day, usually more).

nightscout13

I play alot of Draw Something, so my extened battery lasts only 3 hours…..

StormbladeX69

I live in an area with poor signal so it drains my battery very quickly. My wife and I both have a GNex, and even with the extended battery we have to carry extra batteries with us EVERYWHERE, and usually try to pack chargers with us as well, including one of the separate battery chargers. I’ve been looking at the Seidio battery for quite a while, but due to things like my HIGH Child Support obligation haven’t been able to afford one. This thing would help me out in a BIG way. Thank you for your consideration.

I need this badly for when I come across a chick stupid enough to let me shoot endless hours of HD video of her doing dirty stuffs! I believe I can make this happen. Seriously speaking, you can’t tell me that if I pull out <—- no pun intended —- my seXXXy Nexus a girl won't rip her clothes off right then and there! I will share said videos when it happens with everyone on Droid Life! True story. What if my phone dies when she's just getting into the good stuff? We can't have that happen man! Support me in my mission brothers and ensure I'm well equipped for the quest! 😛

I wouldn’t say that I need it every day, but there are days where I’ll take the wife and kids out on an all day adventure, and I have to seriously limit my phone usage. This would be nice to use when I know I’m going to be away from a charger for a while.

Steve

This is hysterical !!! WOW how ugly is that LOL Just buy a Razr Max and dump the nexus as I did , you will never look back and dont give me crap about locked boot loaders, who cares , rooted in seconds , free wifi tether , killer battery life , awesome screen and really thin !! The perfect phone !!

I work 15-18 hours every day, and as you already are aware the Nexus doesn’t last me but 8 hours. This battery would save me from having to pay the 740$ for the Razr Maxx because I am in contract. Also my GF would love this because it would stop me from getting hit on at the bars 😉

I’m in a dorm where they throttle the internet to 100kbps so people don’t use it for bandwidth intensive tasks like streaming or gaming. Because of this, I pretty much rely on my Gnex’s LTE to provide internet to my other devices like my laptop around campus. As you know, wireless tether sucks battery like no other, and my phone is usually dead by 1 or 2 p.m. This would help me make it through the day for sure, and I can definitely tell you that I would take ugliness & 4g over sleekness and 100kbps internet any day of the week. Please DL Crew, save me from wifi that runs at the equivalent of 2g speeds!

I need this battery so my phone will finally last longer than I do with my ladyfriend

Cflores860

I need that battery like a fat kid needs cake

Tyler

My friends Motorola Atrix gets 1 – 2 days on its battery and i need to be able to tell him about my awesome battery! 😀 And my phone dies in less then a day …

drparty

I need this battery cause I actually use my phone like a bawse, all day every day!

Davros

I need this because my kids keep stealing my charger when they go to their friends for the weekend >: l

hello2000

I need this battery cause I’m a little bitch who uses his phone all day and crushes the battery by noon. Should I limit the usage to normal amounts? Yah. Do I want to? Heck no! Send me that car battery and let’s get to business!

Chris

Going on a trip, I get lost a lot, no Gnex life means I’m essentially list in a foreign country and I will never return home. Could you live with that on your conscience? If not, all you need to do is ship that extended battery my way!

strikeir13

I need it as bad as the thing looks cuz with it I’ll get kicked out of my apartment by my girlfriend for extreme bad taste. I’ll have to pay Angry Birds Space with full brightness while downloading my entire Google Music collection all night just to survive using my phone to keep me warm. Standard battery won’t cut it.

Battery life is the only thing my friend’s RAZR beats my Nexus at (oops, now Hulu too…crap) so I need this to even the game. 🙂

Lakerzfan80

First and foremost I wanna say I charge my phone maybe 3 to 4 times a day and I have that was sold verizon store recently I was laid off from my company after working there for 10 years so I can’t really afford to spend 75 dollars on a new battery and even though I think the mugenn 1 is better I’m willing to take a free battery anytime

This would be perfect for me. I do oil work and work about 10 to 12 hours a day. I have a wife and 4 kids, so I hate being away from my phone in case if anything happens to them. My Nexus barely lasts 8 hours.

My nexus is running AOKP milestone 4 and while I get great battery life. I’d like to, for once, not worry about charging my phone every night.

Thanks

Athomson16

I need less stress in my life and more droid life in it. What a better way then to have a big battery like this. I’d get twice the droid life!!

SysWiz

I could use one for when I am wifi tethering on the go.

drew

My battery dies before the day ends, plain and simple.

HuskerDroid10

This would be great for sporting events since my phone always dies looking for signal.

Tweekex

Frankly I am tired of being warned of low battery by 1pm, which is why I would love this battery 🙂

Ron Parish

Well, I don’t need the battery right now, but in the next very short while I am expecting to own one of these great phones. The Seidio extended battery is just what I will need for my phone when it gets here. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

scanullas0201

Would be nice to have my phone last a whole day at Disneyland without me having to swap batteries. For some reason, the network in that area has random dead zones.

Since my Nexus can barely last half a day with moderate use I would like to try this out, its not that ugly.

Xalmasterx

I currently have the 2100mAH battery in my galaxy nexus and i cannot make it through the day. I am a power user and love every aspect about the gnex except the battery. My favorite time with my gnex is when i have it plugged in and am able to use it to its full potential. With a screen this beautiful and the processing power that this phone has its a real shame that you cannot use half of its features without it dying by 5pm. Saying this i am really curious to test out this battery and try to design a wrap around case solution that would simply wrap around the thick portion of the battery and contour it to better fit the phone. I think with a properly fit case, this added heft can be masked and the phone might not loof nearly as bad.

I have the battery and purchased 2 silicone cases off ebay for $4 each. I proceeded to use one of them to test out where I need to cut to make it look good. After i butchered the one silicone case, I got the perfect dimensions, cut the other case to precision and it fits perfectly. Yes the battery has bulk in the back, but I go from 8am to 8pm without charging once, full brightness, 4G connected and constant use. Very happy with this purchase. And the case that I customized for it haha

DCABuckeye

My mom is in heaven and it takes more than the stock battery to reach her. I also have numerous occupations/situations that require me to get contests to recognize that I truly, truly need this. Or any other item that is up for a giveaway.

Tsorenson50

I need this battery. My work allows me to have my phone but does not allow me to charge it art work. Don’t ask why. I work for the state I live in and out is a policy of the whole division I work in. I follow this site religiously and love updating my phone with everything you show us. I would just get a cheeky but I want to keep my nfc working. Please consider me. I follow you on Twitter…@travilaaa

I am hideously ugly and grotesque to look at. I need a battery that suits my hard to look at appearance!

Forrest Tracey

I work in a remote area and often times a charger is not close by while I’m out in the field. This extended battery would be a big help!

EdsonDJ

I bought the cheapo $8 one you guys posted a while back and for some odd reason, it doesn’t last that long and its actually worse than the OEM 2100mAh. That’s with running the same ROM and kernel (AXI0M M2/franco M2). It could be just a defective unit, but I’d rather have Seidio’s battery because I’m familiar with their products and I trust the brand more.

i badly need this seidio 3800 mAH battery. bought the 2100 extended battery from verizon, but that doesn’t last long at all. i use my phone very heavily from contacting prospects to business owners. the seidio 3800 mAh on my galaxy nexus seems to be the solution to this.

Sonic_44

This extended battery would make my Droid-Obsessive-Life SOOO much easier because I have to use my phone to navigate all over San Antonio, TX for work on a daily basis. Then, when I get to where I need to go, I have to use my phone still for each job to test stuff and make sure customer’s accounts are right. So I could finally not have to worry about charging and risking my phone frying in the heat of the Texas sun. Plus, I use NFC all the time at gas stations and quick meals from Micky-D’s and Taco Cabana!

GNEX(MOTOX)

super badly, if even a word. Can barley get through school.. browsing the web for research on 3g… it dies so fast 🙁

ericsorensen

I need it really really bad! Because, being married, I don’t want chicks hitting on me…And this thing should take care of that problem nicely.

Marcantony44

How badly… I work in IT… for a company the doesn’t give me a phone or pay for one. the nice part is at least i get to pick my own hardware… When I am on the road I am a mobile office.. currently i run 3 batteries all stock batteries because the price difference to an extended battery seems more then i can swallow right now. I use all 3 batteries in 1 day.. HELP ME PLEASE HELP ME!

I am tethering most of the day or on conference call and when i get on a bridge sometimes its HOURS before we drop. Please help me out…

Andrew Robitaille

Must play more angry birds.

Got Fragz

I could really use some long battery life. I’m definitely a heavy power user. Drained my extended battery in about 6 hours today. Always on this beast.

I want this simply to experience using my phone all day and not being in panic mode trying to find an outlet to charge my phone. I want to use my LTE without worrying about sucking my battery dry. I want to keep a badass live wallpaper on for more than 2 minutes. I want to use my navigation app without having to plug it in to my car charger, which honestly, doesn’t charge the damn phone anyway.

I need this battery badly because i sure do use my phone alot throughout the day, sometimes cannot charge my phone or it is annoying having to charge it while im in school. Would not mind the big bulky back, if i want to show off my phone id just switch back to the regular battery lol

Jeff Badger

I don’t need it since I already own it, so feel free to give it to someone else. I will say this, though…I’m so glad I bought this battery. It’s still pocket-friendly and I don’t have to worry about LTE, GPS, brightness, and everything else. It is by far a fantastic investment to those who don’t want to worry about their phone, its usage, and their location.

The only I thing I recommend is buying the case so that everything is the same color. The case is also the almost black matte finish.

Ghub1

I need this because I use phone for work and I need the juice to be efficient. Plus I have enough swagger durvto AOKP to combat the fafyness of the battery

Tellas Woods1

My reason for needing this battery is simple…. I’m tired of having to plug my GalNex in everywhere I go. I need more (from the movie) Battery Juice, Battery Juice, Battery Juice

Zake32

I would love to have this extended battery so i can take my phobe out on the golf course and actually be able to use the golf gps software i bought for my phone. Currently i can barely get through 9 holes before battery is tapping out..

Hans can have it instead of me. I need it for Golfcard app so I can get a whole round in before the battery dies. Thanks for your service Hans!

I use my Nexus to play ROMs of the Game Boy games I own, and that just slurps up battery, so I’d LOVE an extended battery for it.

Dodge4bbl

i just really want one to try…i bought the cheap one you guys advertised a few weeks ago and want to see if this one is any better than the cheap one.

Chris Cousin

An extended battery could come in handy for when I make extended trips to our data center and I don’t have access to a charger for a while.

Mwarthurs22

All the extended trips I go on for work this would be a pretty sweet addition..

beng8686

I need this battery soooo bad… been wanting to buy for a while now but can’t afford the jump (need the seidio case to go with this beast). I’m constantly on the road and in poor coverage areas that drain my Sammy extended battery within a few hours. I need to unhook from my charger and feel FREEDOM. I NEED this thing! DL would be doing someone a huge favor giving this battleship kit to me. End transmission. (Plugging into charger)

I just had a new baby girl and I been taking her and my wife between doctors appointments. I have been noticing my GNex Dies alot between offices because of lack of signal. I REALLY need this battery to help on days I have to go in these areas. Hook a Daddy up 😀

IlanAlpert

Need it so badly I am using the last of my battery just to type this up and it’s only 5pm!

I can’t explain it. It’s like when a child sees the moon through a telescope for the first time. Just sheer wonderment. I must have it.

Albokay

Backstab has been stomping the hell out of my phone when i play. I need this beast on my team to battle the drain.

Mganale62

I picked one the other day and i can easily get 2days out of it where as the extended battery 2100mah i picked up wwhen i got my phone couldnt last me all but two thirds of a normal day,,,so aftwr a couple of days with it i couldnt behappier.

Mganale62

I also got the siedo surface case for it and is very nice,,all black and it is very nice in the hand,,non slip surface and i also noticed when i vo to hit the power key i dont hit the volume rocker at the same time,,,really digging it

Honestly, I would like to win it for the rarer occasions: hiking, mountain biking, etc. Day to day the standard battery does just fine for me, even though I have to plug it in at work.

DrAndyRoid

I need this extended battery because I’m a full-time college student, with full days of class; I simply cannot get through my days on a single charge. My professors deduct half a letter grade if our phones make an appearance out of our pockets so I can’t even charge it in class. Womp womp I know, but I seriously can use this tank of an accessory.

Aaron Brodsky

I would love to have this huge beast. I normally sit at a desk all day too, charger nearby, but on weekends when I’m out and about all day, maybe into the night, even the 2100 extended battery wont cut it. This would be great for those days! Please pick me! Thanks!

A.C.

I have very early mornings and long evenings. Having a battery last longer than 3/5 of my day would be the final piece to my Nexus perfection.

willsours

I need this thing so I don’t get hopelessly lost in the woods while I’m out hiking with “My Tracks” and my compass locked up behind a dead battery!

I use my phone all day everyday out and about without a charger in reach. I travel alot for it and use it at conferences to provide “backchannel” support for those not attending. With little coverage in some areas, its zaps my battery searching. I would love one of these to save my battery life and use my phone longer between charges

Hahaha

i wnat this for my rezound so i can petend i have a nexus….. naw good luck nexus owners

topherct

I am already using the 2100aMH extended battery on my Nexus and I can’t get a full day out of it. I don’t even bother turning on 4G without a charger next to me.

A Taylor

I work for a cable company and need my cell phone for work, and also personal use using wifi etc. My battery allways dies within 3-4 hours with having 4g and wifi switched on just so i know when the new baby is going to arrive

Kentholio

Can’t tell you how badly I need one. I’m in the field all day, and have little access to charge. I have two little girls and need to have a phone that works. Love the phone, but I regret the purchase. Can’t afford one of these, even tried one of those $8 pos’. I’m a big guy, so I’m not worried about any ridicule that may come my way from using this beast.

Jake

My friend insists the MAXX is the best battery life on a phone, this should shut him up quite nicely.

staticdet5

I’m a medic. Some nights, my shifts don’t end. It stinks when my phone has to stop, but I have to keep going.

Travisgary

im also in i.t. and i have to charge my “extended” battery by about 2pm, then i can make it home, and do nightly duties, and then lay down in bed and watch, i mean research stuff. then hook it back up to the 120 ac for some much needed juice.

cant link this to twitter due to work restrictions..

tweeter is @travisgary:disqus

Slot_Machine

I need one because I need POWER, UNLIMITED POWER! but this is a good start.

My wife and I are adventurers and often spend long days out hiking, or at theme parks, our we pack up for a camping weekend. While I wouldn’t use this on regular days, it would be amazing at times like that. A few miles into the woods, there aren’t so many charging opportunities, but it would be awfully nice to make an emergency call if we needed to.

MattSweeden

Because Im having to deal with constantly charging my phone cause of constant data use…my GNex rarely gets a break from the charger :/

As an Emergency Medical Service worker, I use my phone alot. Giving and receiving direction, and patient information. A beastly battery like this would go along way and keep me from worring bout battery power and constantly being concerned with a charger. Thanks for the chance to win. DL rocks!

Konnect00

well I can use this to power my neighborhood up if the power ever goes out again. heh(:

anezarati

i’d love to have one of these.

Nick20719

I use my phone 24/7, from meetings to hanging with friends. This would come in handy since i always seem to want to take pictures while playing on FB and texting friends which leads to my phone dieing after 7 hours on 4G LTE…

I was an avid Seekdroid user as well…since the “Free App of the Day” offer from Amazon.
Dude.
Try Cerberus. It’s so much nicer!
Oh, and Seekdroid can’t activate GPS on android 2.3+ (unless the rom you’re running re-enables this permission…which none on the GNex do that I’ve found).
Cerberus needs to be installed as a system app to do so…but this didn’t work with Seekdroid at all.

CurtisNic

im always working and browsing blogs on my phone, the battery evaporates in about 6 hours. would love that big bump if it could help me make it through the day

AbbieRosario

I only badly need this battery so that I can look like a fool with such a large battery.

Tsteege

DL, is just awesome. [Suck up]

Anyway, I work out in the field doing data collection via GPS. I have two batteries now, but I hate powering down and swapping them out. I would love to take it off your hands and “TEST” it for a long time. LOL, thanks again for all the good work DL.! [Suck up #2]

Jonathan Sims

I work on a military base with spotty coverage for 12 hours at a time. So I have to charge my phone at least once during the day. I really need a larger battery to help me out.

I would love this extended battery as I often go to school all morning and then directly to work with little to no time to plug my phone into a charger. I have always loved extended batteries but with the $75 price tag winning this competition would be awesome.

fartbubbler

I’d use one of these if the Zombie Apocolypse started. But then, most of the people I’d call or text would probably already be zombi-fied.

Guess I could play hours and hours of Stupid Zombies. Or stream The Walking Dead…

I’m in and out of the office most of the day and not in the car long enough to make plugging it in between job site really worth while. What’s worse is these job sites tend to be in low service area (as in my office and house) so the battery is gets drained pretty quickly. it was almost enough to make me regret getting the nexus … but that feeling past quickly. this thing is a beast (if only the battery were as well).

I’d like it so I can have my phone last longer than four hours on battery.

amosk

Quite frankly, I would never put that on my phone. I carry a spare stock battery in my pocket and take 20 seconds to swap it in during the afternoon. That, imo, is so much better than carrying that beast around.
Carry a spare, barely noticable, backup battery in my pocket or a tank…hmm, not a hard decision.
The only way I could see somebody wanting this is if they didn’t need to keep their phone in their pocket, and didn’t have access to a power outlet for a day or more. I think that describes like 3 people in the USA…

I would use this because I use my phone for work and play. 😀
I’m an IT professional at a local hospital. Not only does the service suck on this side of town (Kinda drains battery as the Nexus tries to attain better signal) but also, I get tons of emails and work related texts as well as my personal things such as non-work related texts, twitter and the usual showing off my phone to iPhone users and Razr owners. I thought of buying this multiple times but that $75 is kinda alot. I dont usually run dead, but I’m running for a charger by the time I get to my car at the end of the day! I’d love this battery, even though it looks weird, I really wouldn’t mind. I also use navigation on 4g sometimes when I go to conferences and this thing drains faster than my car charger can keep up lol.

It’s definitely a beast. But I’ll tell you what, when your battery is about to die, you’ll wish you cared more about having this battery then you would about sleekness. Or maybe YOU would, meh My nexus is still craving more juice regardless.

4yr old son is hooked on Angry Birds, wife keeps stealing my phone for Draw Something, and I fear the 4 gees because of my analness of getting the most battery life I can. I also don’t mind having a big backside… on my phone that is.

whosinaname

I need this because I work in a basement with poor reception….. My battery dies faster than a person wearing a red shirt on StarTrek

gettingoutofthedoghouse

I need this battery so bad.. I’m noob and forget to plug in the phone, and just as the battery is dying, SWMBO calls with some urgent honey doos!

Since I leave the house at 5 a.m. and am out doors for most of the day, The added juice will allow to me to keep the phone on my side rather than in the truck on the charger being able to get a hold of more people easier. Plus, who doesnt like the look of a small tank in your hands?!

Hendrixj92

I need this because if my battery dies, then my heart stops beating and since I live in the middle of nowhere ill be dead before anyone gets here to save me. and you don’t want that on your shoulders now do you?

I need this battery reallllly bad lol.
I am a 16 year old socialite so Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and my girlfriend really kill my battery at times.
Not to mention hours of playing Angry Birds Space or Where’s My Water.
All of this, along with jacking my school’s wifi, really affects my battery lol

Nshawn43

i have 3 extended batteries that i rotate through during my day . im never near a battery during the day while at school and by the end of the day im at 10 percent battery running to the car so my phone doesnt die.. I would love to have an extended battery so i can atleast last a majority of the day before needing to switch…

Nshawn43

never near a charger i mean

James Nichols

I would love this battery. I love my nexus and I use it all the time and I hate to run to a charger.

jimmyk0789

I really need that battery I work 14 hour days and I have to charge my nexus at least two times while at work and with that battery I would have to worry about missing calls or emails because my phone is dead 🙂 BTW I love this site

Morpheus282

Why I need the battery:
I spend a lot of time on the road and in the middle of older buildings with metallic film on the windows. Since my phone doesn’t get much of a signal thanks to this film, the 2100 mAh battery only lasts about two hours before I have to charge it. The 3800 mAh battery might actually get me through until lunch before I have to charge it.

As a storm chaser, a great battery on my phone for Wi-Fi tethering / video and still capturing is a must. The car’s power is reserved for the laptops in the car leaving the Nexus to its own battery (disappointingly). Haven’t upgraded the battery yet (gas costs suck up the chasing budget)!

I need this because I play words with friends, wordsmith, wordfeud, hanging with friends, and recently draw something and scramble with friends all day long while at work. I also hotspot off of my gnex all day long while playing said games.

I work in the field all day and very rarely have the opportunity to juice up. This battery is a must for myself because by the end of the day I am barely making it by on a single charge.

ramifications

My galaxy nexus dies in about 6-8 hours every day. I have to live next to a charger 🙁 I could really use this! Thanks Droid Life !

Mark Schofield

I need the power as I utilize my phone all day for work and need to recharge midday to be able to finish my work. I have found myself in the field several times with the phone going dead and unable to plug in anywhere.

Josh

Anomoly Warzone eats up all my battery. I need more!

Aaron

I need this battery because I hate charging my device, and would not mind the extra bulk for some extreme usability.

JaredKirk

Considering I can kill an extended battery in like an hour to an hour and a half, I think I need this 🙂

I work in IT in healthcare and am constantly using my phone. I do get a lot of e-mails and phone calls, but mostly I am showing off my awesome GNex to iPhone and BB users who wish their phones were as sweet as mine. I also hope by sticking this in my front pocket, I can impress the cute nurses and residents with my phone bump. “Is that your phone’s extended battery or are you just getting an erection?”

“Baby, let’s hit the janitor closet and find out!”

Lacokanostra

Im suffering from second hand embarrassment

will bartlett

I would love this battery. I already have 4 batteries due to external chargers, one that broke, plus the normal extended battery. I would love my phone to be able to live for a few days before i have to charge it. 😀

as a college student, the only time I have time to charge my phone is when I’m sleeping… and well since I’m never sleeping the simple math here is is I can’t charge my phone :'( please support the poor college student who’s only social life some times is my phone..

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS

In the directions it says to follow us on TWITTER right ? Well If people are posting comments below, Does that mean they didnt follow directions correctly or do comments posted here go to TWITTER too if they are linked ?

I’m going on a business trip to Vegas in a few weeks. Last year my Samsung Fascinate went through 2 batteries a day at this convention. I definitely could use every bit of extra juice.

DrDroid

I am a medical student with $200,000+ of debt and work long hours in a VA hospital with thick walls and sketchy reception. The 2100 mAh just doesn’t cut it in my environment. It would make a world of difference to me!

my friend’s aunt makes $76/hour on the laptop. She has been without work for 10 months but last month her paycheck was $9030 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Go to this web site ànd read more : LazyCash5.Com

rdunseith

I prefer a naked Asian girl with my Sedio. But thats just my personal preference,

I’d like to just see how it compares to Seido’s other batteries. Seido isn’t the most honest of companies when it comes to reporting their battery life specs (see link at end of comment). Not as bad as Mugen, but not the best.

The 3200mAh extended battery for the Nexus 1 measured only 2691mAh.
The 3500mAh for the EVO 4G was only 2821mAh.
The 1600mAh battery for the N1 only measured 1305mAh (compare that to the stock 1400mAh that measured 1357mAh! Imagine replacing your stock 1400mAh battery with a 1600mAh battery and getting shorter life!)

http://batteryboss.org/
Note: This is not my site – it just blew my mind how blatently dishonest battery capacity specs are for some brands!

MKader17

Or maybe an actual test. I’m always down for free stuff, but the only information I got from the post that I didn’t get from looking at a picture was,

“The new back plate has a soft, almost matte black finish and feels a lot like the new Ringke SLIM case that I reviewed last week. It doesn’t feel that bad in hand and is essentially slip resistant.”

I need this because even on a regular school day, which is just a few hours long, my phone is dead by the end without me even using it that much! I just use it to listen to music for 10 minutes on the way to school, the rest of the time it is sleeping. And yes, I have tried uninstalling apps and using battery management stuff and whatnot, but it did not work for me. Hopefully, this battery could fix my problem.

Eric Gilkey

I need it because I don’t want to have to put my phone down when I’m away from my charger. I miss it too much!

I need it because it’ll really come in handy for days such as this weekend when I take a long bus ride down to Virginia Beach VA from NYC, and when I get really busy work days and can’t seem to get to my charger

I use my GNex so much, I have to take a spare charger to class every morning…

Mustang5Oh

I NEED one of these batteries as I’m constantly reading your site and then flashing new ROMs per your recommendations. Also I read twitter and play games a lot! Add to that I’m in Military so I travel a lot and use navigation which is rough on battery. So please hook me up with this beast!

h8thepain

I JUST picked up a G-Nex. I drained half my battery in about 5 hours, just going to breakfast and church. I’m desperately going to need a battery this big while I’m training for my marathon and am using RunKeeper and playing music with DoubleTwist!

Josh515

I really need this battery so I don’t have to worry about recharging my phone overnight and in the middle of the day!!

zapote21

I want one… Seidio should give me one because its a guaranteed sale of a new Surface case and holster also…lol

I already carry a spare stock battery for emergencies, but still find myself draining both batteries before I can get to a a place to charge. This would be a nice emergency back up for those times. (But honestly, I wouldn’t use it as my DD, since I like the slim look better.)

i run my company pretty much off of my Gnex. having my phone on me all day with no where to charge it is getting to be a big problem. this battery would help me be more confident looking at my emails more often and just not worrying if its going to die in the next hour. Please DL, I NEED THIS!!

RashadGattis

I need it because if i dont get it i wont finish typing this comment on the mobile version of this site…

Hunter

I’m constantly on the go and never near a plug long enough to juice up. I’m always swapping batteries at mid-day which is such a pain.

I’m in the Navy myself. But hell, I don’t own a G-Nex… If I win Kwazneski can have it!

mbaldwin85

In that case I should win because I’m a Marine. On second thought give it to Hans considering that he works for the USMC Taxi Co.

All is fair in service rivalries.

Hans Kwazneski

HA! Our sister squadron is a helo squadron too! Right down the road 😛 (notice I said sister, haw)

Noyfb

Hans, twitpic a picture of yourself in your blues on droidlife twitter.
I vote the The Swabbie should get it

TC Infantino

All is fair in service rivalries huh… I was US Air Force, you know, the service you can get into when you ace all five sections of the ASVAB test?

Josh Groff

I only got an 81 on the ASVAB. Air Force has some pretty strict physical requirements though, so they didn’t let me in (navy is a bit more lax, but still won’t let in a 6″ 220lb dude for nuclear/IT…) :/

Might be able to get in after the summer though. 🙂

Kaufkin

Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not Essential. 🙂

Josh Groff

Intelligence is just as essential. In my case, I prefer brains to brawn.

MKader17

That went right over your head, didn’t it?

CompCrash

Adding to the “give the battery to Hans” motion!

amosk

Hans, I don’t want it either, but I if I win it is definitely yours. Thanks man!

I feel ya brother. I work as a firefighter and a part time law enforcement officer. I kill my battery off by noon most days. GPS, legal references, emergency call notification and dispatch… blah blah blah. My current extended battery got me about another 30 minutes it seems like! Stay safe out there brother.

Hans Kwazneski

I _> But seriously, Thank you.

Truth Revealer

I would definitely not be surprised if Hans isn’t really in the Navy

Hans Kwazneski

Tell you what, if I win, I’ll take a picture with it while wearing my cammies 😉

I don’t need it… My Nexus gets a full day on AOKP with Franco’s kernel or leankernel.

komradefox

I need this battery for when i use my phone’s GPS while hiking the Appalachian Trail. Would be amazing to have so i can record more of my trip.

I need this because I use the bathroom on the reg. Sometimes I watch a 22 minute episode of family guy, sometimes 15 minutes of drawing with friends (I get detailed). Either way, my bowel movements run like a German train station and I need this bad boy to keep using my phone.

Every other serious response is a coverup for what they will really be doing, which Homes315 has clearly and honestly laid out here. Give the man the battery.

Why do I need it? Because that I got that bad 3rd party 3800mAh that has no manufacturer and doesn’t actually hold a charge!

Seido is only marginally better than Mugen. Go with OEM!
